ESG Research suggests that companies worldwide will archive more than 80,000 petabytes of file data by 2013, and companies will need sophisticated tools to manage this along with all of the incremental email data being retained for compliance, legal and business reference purposes.

ArchiveOne for Files provides automated, policy-based record retention, discovery, search and disposition for Microsoft Windows file systems, offering the benefits of removing old files, large files, or particular types of files in order to reduce cost, improve performance, retention management, optimize capacity usage, and improve backup windows on primary storage devices.

ArchiveOne for Files was developed to provide flexible automated data management, building on C2C’s foundation of data searching and intelligent actions to carry out mass actions across different types of data to assist in compliance, legal discovery and storage capacity management. Like other C2C solutions, administrators do not need to archive data before applying a command, such as copy, move, delete, classify, compress, archive, or un-archive.

ArchiveOne for Files can be installed as another application connector alongside email and Microsoft SharePoint archiving solutions provided by C2C.  The data can all be stored in a single repository or be separated by recognition of the data type, or even by logical departmental units (such as finance or human resources) each with its own repository regardless of the type of data.
